FIT TO BE PREGNANT

Book excerpt: Getting pregnant and childbirth are two of life’s greatest miracles. Most women, when asked the question, “What was the most memorable event in your life?” often cite pregnancy and childbirth. It’s like a gift from above. There is just no denying the powerful emotions that pregnancy and childbirth can create in parents. However, while pregnancy is glorious and a rewarding experience, the hard truth is that there is a nutrition and fitness aspect that cannot be neglected. There is also a flip side to this shiny coin. Many women often end up feeling that pregnancy has ruined their shapely figure and the stretch marks have disfigured them.
